Although Li Qinghe built up a not small army and sent a large number of guns and ammunition to Commander Li, Commander Li valued another one more. "Are you saying that you have succeeded in establishing a militia organization in each village centered on Hanjiayu?" Commander Li's voice trembled a little.

"Yes," Li Qinghe nodded very affirmatively, "6-7 villages near us have set up villager guards. After this battle, we are ready to cooperate with the elders in the village to establish a grassroots management organization and manage the major villages in a unified manner. ”

Commander Li was silent, but took off his glasses and wiped the dust and stains on them. His hands were constantly shaking, showing how violently his mind fluctuated.

According to what Li Qinghe said, he has now succeeded in bringing all the surrounding villages centered on Hanjiayu under his control, that is to say, the prototype of the base area has appeared. As long as they send corresponding local cadres, they can establish anti-Japanese base areas.

What that meant, he knew very well in his heart. The long-standing problems faced by the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Four Verticals have actually been solved here. A small village of 6 or 7 will allow the warriors to get a certain amount of rest.

After a while, Commander Li said slowly: "Xiao Li, do you know, you have helped us to resist the United Nations, and you are a great hero of our resistance to the United Nations. Commander Li's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Xiao Li, do you know that just these 6 or 7 villages will allow our soldiers to get some relief. Our fighters have long since begun to be unclothed and unable to eat. We've finally opened a path......"

Commander Li shivered and put on his glasses, but tears couldn't stop pouring down. Li Qinghe was also silent, he knew very well what he was doing, or rather, this was what he wanted to do. He wants to help the soldiers of Jidong survive here, and hopes that our team will get bigger and bigger.

The great retreat that is remembered in history is really too much price, and he hopes to retain a force in the future, so that the soldiers in eastern Hebei can better threaten the back garden of the Japanese army, so that the Japanese are like thorns.

Commander Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and showed an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, Xiao Li, I'm a little worried about you." After all, I'm a little older, and I'm really embarrassed that my feelings will be a little uncontrollable when my feelings fluctuate. ”

Li Qinghe shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't care.

"Xiao Li, your credit this time is too great, I don't know how to reward it." Commander Li stood up excitedly and walked through the hall.

"In this way, after you go back, you will use your militia as the backbone to form the 24th Corps, which belongs to the Second Route Army of our Anti-Japanese Alliance. The relationship between the three of you or something, I will discuss it with Lao Song and them immediately. It's up to you to decide what to compile, and you can just report it to me after you draw up the list. ”

"As for the next, after your side completes the expansion of the army, if you can, it is best to take Funing City as soon as possible. Expand your base and provide corresponding convenience for the 23rd Corps and other corps to rest and recuperate. ”

"On our side, we still go north to Qinglong to open up a base area, and the base area here in Funing is not big enough to support the 60,000 anti-Japanese army, and we need at least 6 or more base areas to ensure the normal survival of our 50,000 army."

Li Qinghe nodded, and then said: "Commander, if you can, I hope to take the opportunity to rest and recuperate to integrate the troops." The troops of the four columns began to integrate with our anti-union fighters to ensure the purity and progress of the team. ”

Commander Li lowered his head and pondered for a long time before nodding solemnly, "You're right, the problem of the sloppy troops after the Autumn Harvest Uprising can't be repeated, and we need to retrain." The current situation is that the main forces of the Fourth Column and the Anti-Japanese Federation have already gone north to Qinglong County, and I myself will go north this afternoon to meet the headquarters, and I will talk about it when the time comes. ”

"Also, if you can, capture Funing City as soon as possible and consolidate the Funing region into our base. Our troops are in dire need of recuperation, and the soldiers have been fighting fiercely for more than a month, and they are already exhausted and discouraged. As for the local staff, I will send people from my side to assist you in your work as soon as possible. ”

Li Qinghe nodded solemnly, "I know, I'll go and prepare." After a military salute, Li Qinghe left here in a hurry. The next thing will become very important and hectic, Li Qinghe's task is heavy, and the commander's task is also very arduous.

However, when you get back to the organization, it's much better. At least in the future, I may not worry about the problem of local staff for the time being. The next task is to expand the armament and prepare to attack Funing City and several surrounding strongholds.

Rushing back to Hanjiayu, Li Qinghe immediately convened a meeting. First of all, inform the comrades of the militia of the good news that the area around Hanjiayu has been liberated by the Anti-Japanese Union. Secondly, the news of the reorganization of the militia into the 24th Corps of the Anti-Japanese Federation was conveyed to the people, causing a round of cheers.

Li Qinghe announced that the army would be expanded to more than 300 troops, and the militia would be expanded to about 20 in each village. The new squadron has three squadrons, each with three squadrons. The corps is directly subordinate to the guard squad, the fire squadron, the baggage squad and the engineer squad, with a total number of about 350 people.

The three infantry squadrons were served by Zhang Niu, Wang Ergou and Han Xing, the militia squad leader who performed very well in this and last battles, and the captain of the fire squadron was Xie Zicai, another squad leader with outstanding performance.

In addition to the fire squadron, each squadron has three squadrons, and the squad leader is nominated by the squadron leader, selected from among the soldiers, and approved by Li Qinghe after examination.

For the requirements for talent selection, Li Qinghe's requirements are very simple: the capable go up, and the mediocre go down; If you can, go up, if you can't, go down. Moreover, Li Qinghe proposed to evaluate everyone in the team, including the squadron leader and squad leader. An assessment is held every 3 months, and those who are capable go up and those who are mediocre go down. Those who perform well in the assessment can receive additional rewards, both material and spiritual.

As soon as such a system came out, the whole army was excited, and everyone was working hard. Even Zhang Niu and Wang Ergou both felt nervous and accelerated the pace of study, for fear of being overtaken.

At the same time as the reorganization of the troops, Li Qinghe, through the head of Lao Han Village, summoned Cao Dongzhuang, Han Guanying, and the elders of the villages under his jurisdiction to discuss the construction of the base area.

Although the organization has not yet sent the corresponding local staff, Li Qinghe has no time to wait. After a period of time, according to the original historical itinerary, Qinglong County's opening up of the base area will fail, the Fourth Column and the Anti-Japanese Federation will retreat, and they must complete the construction of the base area as soon as possible.

After a night of discussion, Li Qinghe and others finally decided on some plans for the future. First of all, it accepted the anti-Japanese democratic regime proposed by Li Qinghe, and determined that it would accept the management of the Anti-Japanese Union and the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, Li Qinghe will temporarily serve as the chief administrative officer here, and he will not leave his post until the arrival of other chief administrative officers arranged by the organization in the future.

In addition, Li Qinghe found more than a dozen young people who could read and count through several surrounding villages, and began to appoint them as managers of the base area, mainly to assist the village chiefs in the management of the village.

Although young people are energetic and aggressive. But I don't have much knowledge, and I don't hold many things well. Although the elderly have problems of one kind or another, they have a lot of life experience, and many young people will notice them in places that they can't notice. To some extent, it will also be complementary.
